Research on the optimal dosage of bio-oil/lignin composite modified asphalt based on rheological and anti-aging properties

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and attention to resource reuse, the development of high-performance and degradable green biomass pavement materials attracts a lot of interest. Lignin and bio-oil effectively combined to play a synergistic role can improve various properties of asphalt and partially replace petroleum...

The influencing factors of evaporation residue of emulsified modified asphalt to optimize the environmental adaptability

Compared with traditional asphalt, emulsified asphalt occurs to be a better low-temperature usability and environmental adaptability, which can reduce environmental pollution and energy consuming during road construction. The low-temperature ductility is a very important indicator to evaluate the environmental adaptability of emulsified asphalt....

A Comprehensive Study on the Rejuvenation Efficiency of Compound Rejuvenators for the Characterization of the Bituminous Binder, Mortar, and Mixture

This study aims to comprehensively investigate the rejuvenation efficiency of various self-developed compound rejuvenators on the physical, mechanical, and aging properties of aged bitumen, asphalt mortar, and mixture. The results revealed that the restoration capacity of vacuum distilled-oil rejuvenators on high-and-low temperature performance...

The continuous swelling-degradation behaviors and chemo-rheological properties of waste crumb rubber modified bitumen considering the effect of rubber size

The chemo-rheological properties of crumb rubber modified bitumen are always unstable due to the mutable and uncontrollable swelling-degradation degree of crumb rubber in bitumen matrix. The study aimed at exploring the continuous swelling and degradation behaviors of crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) considering the influence of rubber size...

Experimental characterization of viscoelastic behaviors, microstructure and thermal stability of CR/SBS modified asphalt with TOR

It is well known that crumb rubber (CR) and styrene–butadienestyrene (SBS) composite modified asphalt has better rheological and engineering performance. However, it always presents very poor compatibility and storage stability. Meanwhile, Trans-polyoctenamer (TOR) can effectively improve the compatibility and thermal stability of rubber...

Evaluation of rheological behaviors and anti-aging properties of recycled asphalts using low-viscosity asphalt and polymers

Recycling technology is widely used in the asphalt road construction due to its environmental and economic effects. Many efforts have focused on the performance restoration of aged base asphalt by adding light oil, but the possibility of recycling the aged asphalt using low-viscosity asphalt and polymers has been few explored. Therefore, the...

Rheological properties, compatibility, and storage stability of SBS latex-modified asphalt

A styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) latex modifier can be used for asphalt modification due to the fact of its energy-saving, construction convenience, and economic advantages. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of asphalt type and SBS latex dosage on the rheological properties, compatibility, and storage stability of...

Photometric and colorimetric assessment of LED chip scale packages by using a step-stress accelerated degradation test (SSADT) method

By solving the problem of very long test time on reliability qualification for Light-emitting Diode (LED) products, the accelerated degradation test with a thermal overstress at a proper range is regarded as a promising and effective approach. For a comprehensive survey of the application of step-stress accelerated degradation test (SSADT) in...

A review of small heat pipes for electronics

Heat pipes (HPs) have received considerable attention in recent decades, especially in the field of cooling electronics, which requires the removal of added heat from an area of limited volume to the environment. Small HPs are widely used in electronic applications, which are normally limited by the compact structure and dimensions of the...
